Obi Hails UK LP, New Prime Minister On Landslide Victory

Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 Nigerian election, Peter Obi, has congratulated the United Kingdom Labour Party and their leader, Keir Starmer, for recording a historic victory in Thursday’s election.

Reacting to the victory in his  X handle yesterday, the LP standard bearer said he hoped that the new prime minister would follow his campaign promises that made UK voters look his way.

“I sincerely congratulate Mr. Keir  Starmer and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory they recorded in Thursday’s election.  May the victory translate to a better and new chapter for all the UK residents as you remain committed to your electoral promises.”

I also hope that your government will promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria, and help in deepening our democracy, especially during these challenging times. Nigeria is grappling with issues such as insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty, and could greatly benefit from the support of the UK.  Let us work together to build a brighter future commonwealth for all,” Obi wrote.
